    I have not tried it for succulents, but having used coconut fiber on other things I think it will hold too much moisture. Usually you want a medium that drains quickly and does not retain much moisture for succulents. If I were to try to use coir (the normal name used for coconut fiber) for succulents I would mix it with something that drains better, like perlite or coarse sand.
